Haematology of New Zealand’s two extant endemic bat species
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 821-829, December 2025.ABSTRACT This study investigated haematological values for New Zealand’s two extant endemic bats, the long‐tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) and the lesser short‐tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata), to determine whether differences in locomotion and ecology between these species might be reflected in the species’ haematology.

Research monopolization in the biological sciences: Charismatic species are partly to blame
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2986-3001, November 2025.Abstract Substantial disparities in research excellence exist between scientists, which are largely explained by the considerable influence of elite institutions and the resources available to them. Cumulative advantage has become a dominant force behind social stratification in science, increasing the tendency of researchers to monopolize the ...

Sensitivity of the Immunohistochemistry technique in central nervous system fragments of cattle and horses naturally infected by rabies virus [PDF]
, 2010 A raiva é uma zoonose viral que acomete o sistema nervoso central (SNC) de mamíferos, considerada um grave problema de saúde pública. Herbívoros (bovinos e equinos) são frequentemente acometidos pela in-fecção após serem atacados por morcegos hematófagos

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 422-430, September 2025.We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

Bio‐Inspired Strategy for Radiation‐Based Thermal Management and Utilization
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 32, August 28, 2025.Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...

Ganglion-specific splicing of TRPV1 underlies infrared sensation in vampire bats. [PDF]
, 2011 Vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) are obligate blood feeders that have evolved specialized systems to suit their sanguinary lifestyle. Chief among such adaptations is the ability to detect infrared radiation as a means of locating hotspots on warm-blooded

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.
